The ANZAC Mural was painted in 2003 by local artist Droogie – and has been nominated as a permanent piece on the Bondi Beach Graffiti Wall by Waverley Council – to honour the members of the armed forces that gave their lives to keep us safe.
Help us identify these historic pieces from 2010!
2010 was a great year for graffiti on the Bondi Beach Graffiti Wall – and thanks to Dean at Land of Sunshine, we have 18 images that he took in January 2011 of panels on the wall. We need your help – to identify the artists.
We have worked out two (thanks SG and Silver) – but we need a hand with the remaining 16, so if you know the artist could you message us (and them) with their contact details so that we can properly add these images to the community website.
Cheers

2017 in Review – Bondi Beach Graffiti Wall
Well it has been a busy year on the Bondi Beach Graffiti Wall – we have had some amazing art created by some incredibly talented artists.
The Instagrammer’s favourite for the 2017 season was clearly Em Carey‘s 2016 – The World in Detail – and whilst not graffiti, it took Emma days to complete and really resonated with the public.
2016 – Em Carey – The World in Detail
2016 – Em Carey – The World in Detail – Australia
2016 – Em Carey – The World in Detail – Europe
2016 – Em Carey – The World in Detail – Close-up
And there was a wide variety of work – from the aerosol work of Gus Eagleton – whose 2017 – Reflections showed an incredible nozzle control:
2017 – Gus Eagleton – Reflections – Full
2017 – Gus Eagleton – Reflections – Detail 3
2017 – Gus Eagleton – Reflections – Detail 2
2017 – Gus Eagleton – Reflections – Detail 1
Simple pieces like Andre Braun – BondiWorld‘s 2016 – Rodin’s Seagull:
And Yipes one MD‘s classic 2016 – Top Cat (see photo at the top of this page).
Here are a couple of videos that I took on Christmas Eve 2017 – and although my videography is amateurish, I hope you see some of your favourites.
Once again, thanks to the artists for brightening up Bondi, to Waverley Council for curating the wall, and to everyone who shared images on Facebook and Instagram. Keep sending them and I’ll keep adding the pages to the website!

Bondi Seawall 2017 with Activated Walls
Max from @Activated walls booked four sections of the Bondi graffiti sea wall. He asked a bunch of artists who’ve worked with him to do ‘portrait’ shaped murals. Lukas decided to …
Fresh paint PLEASE!
So it looks like the winners (and yet-to-be-winners) of this season’s applications to paint the Bondi Beach Graffiti Wall have now been notified – with Ayla the Caveman stating that she was #bitterasfuck that she wasn’t selected.
One artist (Emma Carey) has started work this week – we will see another ten panels complete before Christmas and the remainder of the fifty five panels will be completed before the end of February. Check out this intricate bit of work from Em’s Facebook page – I wonder if her wall work will be as detailed as this.
(update – Emma’s page is now live on Bondigraffiti.com HERE)
The council received over 140 applications to paint the wall this year – which once they rejected commercial or inappropriate applications, they short-listed, giving priority to new artists and whittled down to the chosen few.
If you didn’t succeed this time then there will be plenty of opportunity to apply again for the June 2017 intake, me – I just can’t WAIT for some new paint on the wall.
